We study universal behavior in the moving phase of a generic system of motile particles with alignment interactions in the incompressible limit for spatial dimensions $d>2$. Using a dynamical renormalization group analysis, we obtain the exact dynamic, roughness, and anisotropy exponents that describe the scaling behavior of such incompressible systems. This is the first time a compelling argument has been given for the exact values of the anomalous scaling exponents of a flock moving through an isotropic medium in $d>2$.

We present a hydrodynamic theory of polar active smectics, for systems both with and without number conservation. For the latter, we find quasi long-ranged smectic order in d=2 and long-ranged smectic order in d=3. In d=2 there is a Kosterlitz-Thoule
ss type phase transition from the smectic phase to the ordered fluid phase driven by increasing the noise strength. For the number conserving case, we find that giant number fluctuations are greatly suppressed by the smectic order; that smectic order is long-ranged in d=3; and that nonlinear effects become important in d=2.
Meso-scale turbulence was originally observed experimentally in various suspensions of swimming bacteria, as well as in the collective motion of active colloids. The corresponding large-scale dynamical patterns were reproduced in a simple model of a
polar fluid, assuming a constant density of active particles. Recent, more detailed experimental studies revealed additional interesting aspects, such as anomalous velocity statistics and clustering phenomena. Those phenomena cannot be explained by currently available models for active polar fluids. Herein, we extend the continuum model suggested by Dunkel et al. to include density variations and a feedback between the local density and self-propulsion speed of the active particles. If the velocity decreases strong enough with the density, a linear stability analysis of the resulting model shows that, in addition to the short-wavelength instability of the original model, a long-wavelength instability occurs. This is typically observed for high densities of polar active particles and is analogous to the well-known phenomenon of motility-induced phase separation (MIPS) in scalar active matter. We determine a simple phase diagram indicating the linear instabilities and perform systematic numerical simulations for the various regions in the corresponding parameter space. The interplay between the well understood short-range instability and the long-range instability leads to interesting dynamics and novel phenomena concerning nucleation and coarsening processes. Our simulation results display a rich variety of novel patterns, including phase separation into domains with dynamically changing irregularly shaped boundaries. Anomalous velocity statistics are observed in all phases where the system segregates into regions of high and low densities. This offers a simple explanation for their occurrence in recent experiments with bacterial suspensions.
A model of polar fluid is studied theoretically. The interaction potential, in addition to dipole-dipole term, possesses a dispersion contribution of the van der Waals-London form. It is found that when the dispersion force is comparable to dipole-di
pole interaction, the fluid separates into coexisting liquid and gas phases. The calculated critical parameters are in excellent agreement with Monte Carlo simulations. When the strength of dispersion attraction is bellow critical, no phase separation is found.
Spontaneous emergence of correlated states such as flocks and vortices are prime examples of remarkable collective dynamics and self-organization observed in active matter. The formation of globally correlated polar states in geometrically confined s
ystems proceeds through the emergence of a macroscopic steadily rotating vortex that spontaneously selects a clockwise or counterclockwise global chiral state. Here, we reveal that a global vortex formed by colloidal rollers exhibits state memory. The information remains stored even when the energy injection is ceased and the activity is terminated. We show that a subsequent formation of the collective states upon re-energizing the system is not random. We combine experiments and simulations to elucidate how a combination of hydrodynamic and electrostatic interactions leads to hidden asymmetries in the local particle positional order encoding the chiral state of the system. The stored information can be accessed and exploited to systematically command subsequent polar states of active liquid through temporal control of the activity. With the chirality of the emergent collective states controlled on-demand, active liquids offer new possibilities for flow manipulation, transport, and mixing at the microscale.
We investigate the swim pressure exerted by non-chiral and chiral active particles on convex or concave circular boundaries. Active particles are modeled as non-interacting and non-aligning self-propelled Brownian particles. The convex and concave ci
rcular boundaries are used as models representing a fixed inclusion immersed in an active bath and a cavity (or container) enclosing the active particles, respectively. We first present a detailed analysis of the role of convex versus concave boundary curvature and of the chirality of active particles on their spatial distribution, chirality-induced currents, and the swim pressure they exert on the bounding surfaces. The results will then be used to predict the mechanical equilibria of suspended fluid enclosures (generically referred to as droplets) in a bulk with active particles being present either inside the bulk fluid or within the suspended droplets. We show that, while droplets containing active particles and suspended in a normal bulk behave in accordance with standard capillary paradigms, those containing a normal fluid exhibit anomalous behaviors when suspended in an active bulk. In the latter case, the excess swim pressure results in non-monotonic dependence of the inside droplet pressure on the droplet radius. As a result, we find a regime of anomalous capillarity for a single droplet, where the inside droplet pressure increases upon increasing the droplet size. In the case of two interconnected droplets, we show that mechanical equilibrium can occur also when they have different sizes. We further identify a regime of anomalous ripening, where two unequal-sized droplets can reach a final state of equal sizes upon interconnection, in stark contrast with the standard Ostwald ripening phenomenon, implying shrinkage of the smaller droplet in favor of the larger one.
